Double Happiness
“You've got one life to live. What's it gonna be?”
Jade Li is a feisty, 20-something Chinese Canadian, trying to achieve that happy medium between giving in to her parent's wishes and fulfilling her own needs and desires – double happiness. Naturally, something's got to give and when love beckons in the shape of Mark, a white university student, the façade of the perfect Chinese daughter begins to slip.
